The Telegraph explains why a fund that manages almost £1tn in assets is introducing a ‘climate change pledge’ – naming and shaming, and ultimately dumping the shares of companies that don’t clean up their act.
In related news, the Green Gown Awards have opened for the first round of nominations for its 14th year. The awards celebrate sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges across the UK. All of the 12 new and refreshed categories are open for submissions from any UK tertiary education institute, and also new for this year is a more streamlined application process. There is lots more information on the website.
